The guard collapsed without a sound. Their eyes remained focus on him, secretly exchanging glances. Then the sanctuary exploded."North ridge!""Take cover!""Shields up!""Move, move, move!"Hidden warriors flooded the courtyard.Wooden doors slammed shut.Ancient bells screamed across the mountains.Cinthye reached for the pistol at her waist.Damien caught her wrist immediately."Stay behind me.""Absolutely not.""Cinthye—""I'm not hiding while someone shoots at us."Another shot cracked through the valley.BANG.A stone lantern shattered beside them.Fragments sprayed across the courtyard.Master Aurelio didn't even flinch."Inside," he ordered."We're being attacked," Cinthye snapped."No," the old man replied. "We're being measured."Silence.Even Damien frowned."Explain."Aurelio pointed toward the ridge."If they wanted us dead, the second shot would have taken one of you."Another pause."They're announcing themselves."Well.That was somehow worse.---An hour later, the

The photograph remained on the table for nearly a minute. Nobody touched it. Nobody spoke. Victor stood on the opposite side, staring at the image of his family. His wife. His two children. Alive. Terrified. And standing behind them was Elara. She had deliberately chosen the photograph. Not because she needed to prove the family was alive. Because she wanted Victor to know she could reach him. Cinthye finally broke the silence. "How long ago was this taken?" Alex picked up the photograph and scanned it. "Less than an hour." Victor's jaw tightened. "So they're close." "Maybe," Alex said. Victor looked at him. "Maybe?" "The photograph could have been transmitted from anywhere." "Can you trace it?" "I'm trying." Victor turned toward Cinthye.
Runaway Brat Chapter 84
The sanctuary survived. Barely. By morning, the walls were blackened, three towers had collapsed, and the eastern gate was nothing more than twisted metal. Smoke drifted across the courtyard while soldiers searched the ruins for unexploded devices. The children were safe. That should have been enough. It wasn't. Cinthye stood in the command room with a report in her hands. Seven allied houses had withdrawn their support overnight. Two had closed their borders. One had publicly declared that Cinthye's family was responsible for the escalating war. Another had begun negotiations with the Ember Circle. The lines that had held the alliance together were breaking. And they were breaking exactly when the family needed them most. Elena entered carrying another report.
Runaway Brat Chapter 83
The sanctuary had never been built to withstand a war. It had been built to survive one. That distinction mattered. For generations, the family had treated the compound as a home first and a fortress second. The walls were thick. The gates were reinforced. Hidden passages ran beneath the grounds. Emergency shelters had been stocked and maintained. But none of that had been designed for an enemy who knew the family's bloodlines. Now every child was a potential target. Every corridor was a potential entry point. Every trusted door could become a weakness. By sunrise, the sanctuary had become something else entirely. A fortress. And everyone inside it knew the fortress would eventually be tested. Cinthye stood in the command room, staring at the map. Twelve Ghost Cells. Six iden

For one terrible second, nobody moved. Cinthye stared at the woman standing at the entrance to the sanctuary. She had Elena's face. Elena's voice. Elena's posture. But the woman behind the disguise was someone else entirely. Elara. The missing branch of the family. The descendant of the First Queen. The woman who had commanded the Ember Circle from the shadows. Damien raised his weapon. Cinthye caught his wrist. "Wait." Elara smiled. "Still protecting everyone before yourself." Cinthye's eyes narrowed. "Where is Elena?" "Safe." "Where?" "Far from here." Cinthye studied her. "You're lying." Elara laughed softly. "You always were
Runaway Brat Chapter 81
Luna had always hated being asked what she saw. People assumed visions were gifts. They were not. A gift was something you could hold. A gift could be opened, used, shared, or put away. Her visions did not work that way. They arrived without permission. They came when she was tired, when she was frightened, sometimes when she was happiest. They showed her pieces of things that had not happened yet, memories that did not belong to her, and places she had never visited. Sometimes they showed her the truth. Sometimes they showed her what the truth wanted her to believe. That was why she had learned to be careful. But this time, she knew she could not hide. The family stood around the command table. The document Elena had recovered remained projected on the wall. T
